This chapbook compiles thirteen of Charles Bukowski's poems that had been previously rejected by literary magazines and book publishers. In his "Foreward" [sic], Bukowski writes, "The poems in this book...have been overlooked (or looked-over and shunned) by those people who, for reasons unknown to society, publish collections of poesy. This, I hope, will be the sixth gathering of my work since I began writing at the cobby age of 35, a sad long 9 years back, and these are the poems the editors didn't want for the earlier books...I went through the magazines looking for turned-away poems. I found 20 poems I wish I had never written, 20 I didn't give a damn about one way or the other. The others you will find in here."
